DISCUSSION OF THE BACKGROUND

Semiconductor devices are essential for many modern applications. With the advancement of electronic technology, semiconductor devices are becoming smaller in size while providing greater functionality and including greater amounts of integrated circuitry. Due to the miniaturized scale of semiconductor devices, various types and dimensions of semiconductor devices providing different functionalities are integrated and packaged into a single module. Furthermore, numerous manufacturing operations are implemented for integration of various types of semiconductor devices.

However, the manufacturing and integration of semiconductor devices involve many complicated steps and operations. Integration in semiconductor devices becomes increasingly complicated. An increase in complexity of manufacturing and integration of the semiconductor device may cause deficiencies, and the fabrication cost and time may be increased due to additional process steps. Accordingly, there is a continuous need to improve the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices so that the problems can be addressed.

An etch stop layer 103 and a semiconductor layer 105 are sequentially formed over a first carrier substrate 101, as shown in FIG. 6 in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, the first carrier substrate 101 is used as a temporary substrate. The temporary substrate provides mechanical and structural support during subsequent processing steps, such as those described in more detail later. In some embodiments, the first carrier substrate 101 is made of a semiconductor material, ceramic material, polymer material, metal material, another applicable material, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the first carrier substrate 101 is a glass substrate.

In some embodiments, the etch stop layer 103 is made of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, and/or other suitable materials. Moreover, the etch stop layer 103 may be formed by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process, a spin-coating process, or another suitable process. In some embodiments, the semiconductor layer 105 includes polysilicon, amorphous silicon, and/or other semi-conducting materials, and may be formed by a deposition process, such as a CVD process, a PVD process, or an ALD process. Moreover, a patterned mask 107 is formed over the semiconductor layer 105, in accordance with some embodiments. The patterned mask 107 may be formed by deposition process and a subsequent patterning process.

Next, an etching process is performed on the semiconductor layer 105 using the patterned mask 107 as a mask, as shown in FIG. 7 in accordance with some embodiments. As a result, a base layer 105′ and a plurality of fin structures 105A, 105B and 105C over the base layer 105′ are obtained. The etching process may be a dry etching process or a wet etching process.

In some embodiments, the semiconductor layer 105 is etched by a dry etching process. The dry etching process includes using a fluorine-based etchant gas, such as SF₆, C_(x)F_(y), NF₃, or a combination thereof. The etching process may be a time-controlled process, and continue until the fin structures 105A, 105B and 105C reach a predetermined height. In some other embodiments, each of the fin structures 105A, 105B and 105C has a width that gradually increases from the top portion to the lower portion.

After the fin structures 105A, 105B and 105C are formed, the patterned mask 107 can be removed, and an isolation structure 109 is formed between the fin structures 105A, 105B and 105C, as shown in FIG. 8 in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, the isolation structure 109 is a shallow trench isolation (STI) structure surrounding the lower portion of each of the fin structures 105A, 105B and 105C. More specifically, the lower portions of the fin structures 105A, 105B and 105C are surrounded by the isolation structure 109, while upper portions of the fin structures 105A, 105B and 105C protrude from the isolation structure 109.

The isolation structure 109 is configured to prevent electrical interference or crosstalk. In some embodiments, the isolation structure 109 is made of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or another low-k dielectric material. In addition, the isolation structure 109 may be formed by a deposition process and a subsequent etching process.

Next, a gate structure 111 is formed across the fin structures 105A, 105B, 105C and extends over the isolation structure 109, and portions of the fin structures 105A, 105B and 105C adjacent to the gate structure 111 are recessed to form recesses 116 at two sides of the fin structures 105A, 105B, 105C, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, the gate structure 111 is formed over a channel region 113C of the fin structures 105A, 105B, 105C, and the recesses 116 are formed over a source/drain regions 113SD of the fin structures 105A, 105B, 105C.

In some embodiments, the gate structure 111 includes a gate dielectric layer (not shown) and a gate electrode layer (not shown) disposed over the gate dielectric layer. In addition, the gate structure 111 may be formed in a gate first process, a gate last process, or a combination thereof. The gate first process, the gate last process, or a combination thereof include deposition processes, patterning processes, etching processes, or combinations thereof. The recesses 116 may be formed after the gate structure 111 is formed, and the recesses 116 may be formed by an etching process, including a wet etching process, a dry etching process, or a combination thereof.

Then, source/drain structures 119A, 119B and 119C are formed in the recesses 116, which are over the portions of the fin structures 105A, 105B and 105C in the source/drain regions 113SD, as shown in FIG. 12 in accordance with some embodiments. It should be noted that FIGS. 1, 2, and 12-29 are cross-sectional views along a line cut through the source/drain regions 113SD of the fin structures 105A, 105B and 105C. In some embodiments, a strained material is grown in the recesses 116 using an epitaxial process to form the source/drain structures 119A, 119B and 119C. In some embodiments, the strained material of the source/drain structures 119A, 119B and 119C includes Ge, SiGe, InAs, InGaAs, InSb, GaAs, GaSb, InAlP, InP, or the like.

Still referring to FIG. 12 , seed layers 121A, 121B and 121C are formed over the source/drain structures 119A, 119B and 119C, and a dielectric layer 123 is formed covering the seed layers 121A, 121B and 121C and the isolation structure 109, in accordance with some embodiments. At least one of the source/drain structures 119A, 119B and 119C may be a sacrificial source/drain structure, which will be replaced by a replacement source/drain structure in the subsequent processes. In some embodiments, the source/drain structures 119B and 119C are sacrificial source/drain structures, and the seed layers 121A, 121B and 121C are formed to assist with the subsequent structure inversion and backside removal of the sacrificial source/drain structures 119B and 119C and regrowth of the replacement source/drain structures. The respective step is illustrated as the step S11 in the method 10 shown in FIG. 3 .

The seed layers 121A, 121B and 121C may have an etch rate that is relatively lower than the sacrificial source/drain structures 119B and 119C using a given etchant, such that the sacrificial source/drain structures 119B and 119C can be effectively removed while leaving at least a portion of the seed layers 121B and 121C from which the replacement source/drain structures can be grown. In other words, the seed layers 121B and 121C can act as an etch stop for the sacrificial source/drain structures 119B and 119C etch process. For example, the seed layers 121A, 121B and 121C include Si or SiGe with 10% less Ge relative to the material of the sacrificial source/drain structures 119B and 119C.

In addition, the dielectric layer 123 may be an interlayer dielectric (ILD) structure including a single or multiple layers.
